AMPP Guide 21532-2023, Guideline for Materials Selection and Corrosion Control for CO2 Transport and Injection

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21532-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on materials selection and corrosion control for engineers in the design and identification of operating limits for projects that involve CO₂ transport and injection. It should be used as a guide to help identify specific requirements which can be tailored for each project rather than as definitive requirements used straight from the document. References are also made to other relevant documents and standards. The guidance provided for an initial design should help the engineer focus on the most critical issues related to CO₂ transport and injection. It is a rapidly growing subject area and much exploratory technical work is still being executed, and as such this document should be seen as a starting point with future updates and new insights to be expected.

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This Guide focuses on those water chemistry parameters that are key for corrosion prediction. Additional parameters may be required for other materials and corrosion evaluations and decisions.

AMPP Guide 21567-2024, Guide for Sampling Program Development in Hydrocarbon Production, Transportation and Processing

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21567-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

The intent of this document is to describe the major aspects of the sampling process, from specific sample identification, determination of analytical requirements, through sample point design, to sample collection. Consideration of these aspects is necessary for the development of robust and safe sampling programs, protocols, and procedures to facilitate indirect corrosion monitoring.

This document is to assist end users in the development of sampling programs. The guidance is structured to provide an awareness of the major aspects of program design, which if not addressed, may have a significant negative impact on the overall performance of these programs. While this document has been primarily developed with a focus on sampling for indirect internal corrosion monitoring; the basic concepts have a broader applicability and may be of benefit to those developing sampling programs in other areas or for other requirements.

AMPP Guide 21569-2024, Guidance on Implementing Corrosion Control Methodologies to Align with New PHMSA Regulatory Procedures

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21569-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

In August 2022, the United States Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) revised the Federal Pipeline Safety Regulations to improve the safety of onshore gas transmission lines. PHMSA expects the new requirements will reduce the frequency and consequences of failures and incidents involving onshore natural gas transmission pipelines through earlier detection of threats to pipeline integrity, including those resulting from corrosion or extreme weather events. Additionally, revisions to the regulations address several other areas, including management of change processes, corrosion control, and criteria to repair pipelines. New corrosion control regulations were incorporated into the following sections of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Part 192, Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards: 192.319, 192.461, 192.465, 192.473, and 192.478. Additionally, revisions to Sections 192.485 and 192.714 include remedial measures for transmission lines impacted by corrosion.

PHMSA’s Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 2137-AF39 entitled “Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: Repair Criteria, Integrity Management Improvements, Cathodic Protection, Management of Change, and Other Related Amendments” (also known as RIN 2 or the Gas Mega Rule) increases pipeline safety regulatory requirements in 49 CFR 192 for operations, maintenance and integrity management.

AMPP Guide 21611-2024, Pulsed Laser Ablation Technical Guide for Ferrous Metal Substrates

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21611-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This guide describes the use of portable or stationary Q-switched pulsed laser ablation (PLA) systems, consisting of directed energy technology for the surface preparation of ferrous substrates as required for applying coatings or linings, welding, adhesive bonding, decontamination, and other applications. It will discuss the feasibility and benefits of PLA when compared to other laser technologies as well as traditional surface preparation methods. Detailed information is provided on the equipment, including a generic description, suitable applications and locations for use, types of coat- ings or contaminants suitable for removal, advantages, and limitations. This guide includes requirements for operating conditions, and environmental, health, and safety compliance. Appendix A provides explanatory information, some of which uses terms specific to AMPP SP21511-1, “Laser Ablation for Metallic Surface Preparation of Ferrous Metals, Pulsed Laser.” Appendix B provides an amplification of considerations for use including technical information regarding the interaction of the laser with coatings and substrate. Appendix C addresses additional considerations for environ- mental approvals. Appendix D lists equipment and operating parameters.

AMPP Guide 21614-2023, Guide for Improving the Statistical Quality of Dry Coating Thickness Data on Ferrous and Non-ferrous Metal Substrates Using Continuous Read/Scanning Technology

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21614-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

This guide discusses the rationale and method for improving the statistical quality of coating dry film thickness (DFT) data on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates by collecting a larger, more representative data set on various geometries of coated metal surfaces. The data points are collected using traditional Type 2 (electronic) coating thickness gages programmed with continuous read/scanning capability and specialty probes or probe covers, if required by the instrument manufacturer. The guide provides supplementary information to the procedure for obtaining measurements contained in Appendix 10 of the 2022 revision of SSPC-PA 2, “Procedure for Determining Conformance to Dry Coating Thickness Requirements.”

Has a corporate organization that clearly defines the authority and responsibilities of positions typically required for operation of a contracting firm;
Employs qualified management and utilizes qualified craft personnel and other workers;
Has established and implemented a quality management system meeting the requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Has established and implemented a written worker safety and health program meeting requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Has established and implemented environmental protection procedures meeting requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Demonstrates knowledge of industry technical standards and good practice.
